This is the place to stay in El Nido. From tidy comfortable rooms and great chill out areas. What makes this place the only choice to stay is the staff, Claire and Bebz serving up the drinks and great conversations whilst I had fun with Joemar, Almar and Jay where they were always going out of there way to help me any way possible. Wether it was cooking amazing omelettes for breakfast or involving everyone in beer pong they always did it with genuine smiles. The staff here really make you feel welcome and are a credit to the hostel for employing such great employees. Can't wait to travel back here

I had a great time during my stay here! Its my 2nd time in el Nido and I wanted to try a new property and I must say that its a good decision. The staff are very nice, friendly and accomodating. The rooms are clean, beds are comfy, good breakfast selection and its in a good location. Although there are some updates or fix needed such as heater in the girls bathroom, some locks in the common cr and the foam and covers on the couch in the common area, it was a pretty good stay overall. I also left my Beats Studio Buds in my bed and the staff were very helpful in shipping it back to me!

Good breakfast, the private room was nice with a wide bunk bed, own bathroom. Angelo in the reception was really nice and introduced me to some other people from Denmark who I ate dinner with that night. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed socializing with them in the evening. There were daily activities, one night there was a really good barbecue. The location of the hotel is also very good, only a few minutes walk from all the restaurants and bars. The only thing I can really complain about, and which also quite annoying; was that the WiFi was not working because of some problem with the internet provider, and there was no coverage in the room at all, but this will probably be fixed soon.

Quite a chilled hostel, I booked a private bunk room which was clean and spacious. Everything was great including the breakfast. Special mention to front of house staff Angelo who went above and beyond during my stay including to help book a tricycle for 4am. I would stay here again!

It's my first time to travel solo and stayed in a dorm. But I felt really safe and comfortable here. Staff is amazing and accommodating, special shout out to Angelo who's been very helpful and full of zest. Facilities are clean. The bed is wide and comfortable. They serve good breakfast. The location is nearby to the town proper and accessible. It's a good stay that I even extended for a night. I'll surely be back!

This hostel is absolutely incredible. To begin with, I must shout-out to Angelo for his exceptional hospitality skills and zest for life; he is so considerate and passionate and is born to be in this industry!!! He even joined us on a day trip which was so much fun. Now, about the hostel! Chic design, great common area and dining terrace with a bar. Beer pong with the staff is a must, very fun! June was a great partner! The breakfast offering was good and free!! I stayed in both a private room and then a dorm which were exceptionally clean, beds big and comfy, charging sockets near beds, plenty of space, big lockers and great aircon. The communal showers and bathrooms are great. I'm sad to be leaving but I will return for sure!!!! P.s. there is constant renovations going on to…

Great stay, staff is amazing. Enjoyed the breakfast, omelette, pancakes and fruit just to name a few. Beds are big and comfy. Shower has hot water and is clean. Spin designer hostel is a social hostel I would say but not a party hostel. Everything is pretty closeby.

Strategically located! Hotel is chic and extremely clean! Breakfast is served daily. Do not miss their pineapples, these are sugar sweet. The bedsheets and pillows smell so good. Staffs are attentive & always ready to answer your queries
